Here are the ones that I used.
Lug nuts are terrible. Change them while you can.

I bought new lug nuts but I cannot get the stock ones off.
Any advice before I take it to a dealer?

A six point socket of the proper size will work most of the time

How much force should I have to be applying? I feel like I'm going to snap the socket before I get the lug nuts to even budge...

are you using a breaker bar?

If they were put on with an impact driver there is no telling. I would just make sure that I had the correct size six point socket and a long pull bar. Do not do this with a six point socket or you will be drilling out the studs and replacing. I had to put 125 psi on my 1/2 inch impact driver once to remove some lug nuts. Most times at the tire store I will not even let them tighten with an impact driver.

No I was just using a socket with an extension. Should I use a tire iron instead?

@D.W.Slusher How does the color match to the navy blue? I have the same color sling and was wondering if that blue was a match

I use a 18 inch pull bar myself to tighten the lug nuts and the impact wrench to remove the lug nuts. If you do not have a long pull bar find a piece of pipe to slide over what you already have to increase your leverage. A 12 inch bar just ain't going to get it.

Okay cool, I'll try that. Thanks for the tip!

@Cypressfunk13 the match isn’t exact, but looks good.
